Chapter 594: Chapter 595 Sun One

Song Xiaodong didn’t immediately turn around. The fact that the other person had gotten so close to him before he noticed it was enough to highlight the gap in strength between them. Even if he turned around, it would be easy for the other person to kill him, given his injured state.

He just stood there, motionless, and the person behind him also remained still. If it weren’t for the occasional breath on the back of his neck, Song Xiaodong would have thought the person had left.

"What exactly do you want?" After another dozen seconds, Song Xiaodong asked.

But the person behind him didn’t answer; only the breath proved that the person was still there.

If it weren’t for the warmth of the breath, Song Xiaodong might have really suspected it was some kind of ghost.

Song Xiaodong took a deep breath, slowly turned around, but there was no one behind him. However, the faint breath on his neck was still there.

This truly annoyed Song Xiaodong. He said in a low voice, "What exactly do you want?"

Still, there was silence behind him, only the sound of the wind blowing through the dry branches.

Song Xiaodong suddenly turned around sharply, but even though his turn was sudden and his movement swift, his gaze only caught a glimpse of a shadow and still, he saw no one.

Song Xiaodong clenched his teeth in frustration. If this continued, he would only be played like a monkey. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Fine, then I’ll kill him first!" Saying this, he no longer cared about the person behind him and walked directly up to Sun Two, raising his foot to stomp on Sun Two’s chest.

"Young fellow, you sure know how to play dirty." A slightly hoarse voice came from behind him, but it was clearly a woman’s voice. Then, something tightened around his neck, and his body was involuntarily thrown backward.

Then, a woman dressed in black and wearing a black veil appeared between Song Xiaodong and Sun Two.

Seeing the person, the oppressive feeling in Song Xiaodong’s heart lightened considerably. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The woman answered in a hoarse voice, "Who I am does not concern you. You only need to know that I am here to kill you."

Song Xiaodong squinted at the woman, then leisurely said, "Why bother disguising your voice when speaking to me?"

"Oh? How do you know I changed my voice?" the woman’s voice remained unchanged.

"Your voice has indeed changed, but the scent on your body hasn’t varied. When you were behind me, I was downwind, so I didn’t smell it. But now that you’re standing upwind, I can smell your scent. Is it not... Sun Yiyi, or should I say, Sun One?"

The woman suddenly chuckled, her voice suddenly turning sultry and very similar to Sun Yiyi’s, "Are you saying your nose is like a dog’s?"

Song Xiaodong proudly replied, "As a doctor, having studied medicine for many years, my sense of smell is indeed a bit stronger than average."

The woman nodded and said, "You really are quite a smart kid; I quite like that."

Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched, "Kid... Sun Yiyi, you’re younger than me. You call me a kid, yet it seems meaningless to be so evasive."

The woman said, "You mean you want me to take off my veil for you to see?"

Song Xiaodong replied, "Yes, I already know who you are. There’s no point in you wearing the veil anymore."

"I’m afraid you’ll regret seeing my face."

Song Xiaodong said indifferently, "I won’t. You’ve already said you intend to kill me. Now that I’m injured and lack the strength to fight, I naturally want to see clearly before I die."

The woman let out a light laugh, shook her head, and said, "Well, since you are so stubborn, I’ll let you see." She then pulled down the veil from her face and said, "Look at me, do I qualify to call you a child?"

Upon seeing the woman’s face, Song Xiaodong’s expression darkened immediately. It was a face that was both terrifying and yet compelling to look at. It was clearly the face of a stunningly beautiful woman, but it was marred by a scar that ran diagonally from her forehead across her right cheek, a ruinous waste. Moreover, the wrinkles on her forehead were enough to show that her age was no longer young.

"Are you very disappointed?" The woman asked with a light laugh, the scar on her face wriggling like an earthworm, making Song Xiaodong unable to bear looking any longer.

"It’s true I am Sun One, young man. You are very clever to have guessed it right away, but I am not Yiyi. Yiyi is my granddaughter; I am her grandmother."

"I truly didn’t expect the Sun family’s First High School to be an old grandmother. My apologies!" Song Xiaodong wanted to salute, but he couldn’t lift his arm.

Sun One put the veil back on, saying, "I’d better not frighten you with this face anymore, little guy. Now, tell me, how do you want to die?"

Song Xiaodong shook, having initially guessed this woman was Sun Yiyi, and he hadn’t anticipated that she would actually intend to kill him. If she had truly wanted to kill him, she wouldn’t have let him go at the Sun family’s home.

But now that she turned out to be Sun Yiyi’s grandmother, Song Xiaodong knew this was going to be troublesome.

"Young man, do you not wish to die?" Sun One asked at this moment.

Song Xiaodong replied, "Yes, who wishes to die? There are so many things I haven’t done yet, and so many people waiting for me to take care of them. Of course, I want to live." Yet in his mind, he was thinking of ways to handle the situation, knowing that even if he were not injured, Sun One’s ghost-like movement technique was beyond him—let alone now.

He thought of using the silver needles, but to unleash their greatest power, he needed to use his hands. Now that his arm was immobilized and his hands lacked strength, facing such a master, he feared just a moved finger would be detected, only serving to hasten his demise.

"Little guy, don’t even think about running away. You won’t stand a chance, but I might give you a chance," Sun One added.

"What chance?" Though Song Xiaodong certainly didn’t want to die, he knew the opportunity she offered wouldn’t be easy to take advantage of.

Sun One looked at Song Xiaodong and said, "My granddaughter has mentioned you to me. She said you’re quite an interesting young man. You were in the same room with her and didn’t even violate her."

"Oh, and what of it?" Song Xiaodong asked while thinking of a solution.

"I’ve been observing you too. You’re not only skilled in movement, but your mind is also quite brilliant. Moreover, in the face of situations, you remain unflustered and composed. A young man like you is indeed very rare."

"You’ve praised me so much, you’re not thinking... of having me marry your granddaughter, are you?" Song Xiaodong followed Sun One’s words and subconsciously said.
